Does it bother you when people wear jeans to a wedding?

I can't agree... lol since the groom and his men are wearing jeans...

Hate the jeans! But people in WI love it for some reason. Our invites will read "Cocktail Attire" which implies nice but not black tie. I will have security remove anyone in jeans.

If you don't want jeans be specific on your invites and wedding websites.

There are weddings where jeans are okay, just not at mine. (o:

What I hate is when a guest wears white... ooo... My cousin M's wife wore a very, very, VERY short, VERY, VERY TIGHT white lace dress to my cousin E's wedding. Oh man... she was LIVID!

I think it depends on the atmosphere of the wedding - if your venue is a naturally very fancy place - less ppl are going to wear jeans. but if your wedding is outside - its seen as a more casual event.

I don't mind if people wear jeans - especially if their paired with cowboy boots. But then again i'm having an outdoor wedding on a farm and i'm wearing cowboy boots so its a bit more fitting at mine.

We want people to be relaxed and have fun - and if that means jeans then go for it.

I'm not one to notice what other people are wearing unless it really stands out, so jeans wouldn't catch my eye unless they were raggedy or not paired with a nice shirt. Trashy dresses that are wardrobe malfunctions waiting to happen? Those I notice, and those are way more common than people wearing jeans at any kind of event.

I'm with Amy V. around where we're from (Chicago/Suburbs) it doesn't happy often, but I went to college in rural Indiana and I think jeans are not uncommon at every wedding I've heard of. That being said, I'll be so pissed if people show up in jeans.

Under normal situations, I hate it too. However, at our wedding, because it was a DW with a biker themed, I told my guests to wear what they wanted leather and jeans welcome. Surprisingly, all but one couple were dressed to the nines. I actually made the DJ stop after the cake cutting to announce a casual change for anyone than wanted one. Even then, we still had quite a few who didn't walk a flight of stairs to change into jeans.

I hate it w/ a passion. I've heard people say "guests are gonna wear what they want regardless of what you say about attire" but seriously then guests are ignorant and rude. Unless specified that it's casual, or beach or park wedding, dont show up in jeans & tshirt. Black tie or not, semi formal even, weddings by nature are formal, so either find a nice outfit in your closet or spend a little to get one. I may be on a budget, but my dress code is semi formal, I already intend on saying no jeans please. If someone does, I'll just ignore them - not let it go, but ignore talking to them. I'm sorry but for one damn day you can dress up.

I HATE IT WITH A PASSION! I want to ask if they were raised in a barn? Seriously you are at a wedding, at least put khakis on. I did a post on people attire.

I WILL be stating that this is a semi-formal event. And if any one shows up in jeans they will need to change. The nerve of people. My blood is boiling just thinking about it!

Soon2beMrs.K: you saying you're blood is boiling, why did I just get the picture of a woman snapping her hand in the air while saying "OH HELL YOU YOU DIDNT!" lmao

People wear jeans to weddings? Ew. I would never wear jeans to any event special enough that a paper invitation was mailed to me. I have seen one guest who had been married the week prior wear an all-white short lace dress and go around telling everyone else this was her and hubby's first wedding as husband and wife. Talk about disrespectful.

Being from TX it's not uncommon for people to wear jeans to weddings. I will say 95% of the time its a man with starched jeans, button down shirt tucked in with coyboy boots. A friend of mine didn't want any jeans at her wedding and on the invite stated "cocktail attire" yet the reception was held in a hall with neon beer signs WTH? People still showed up in jeans.

M- Bride lol! I would polly what what the hell are you wearing or are you effing kidding me! It's just one of those PET PEEVES ugh to me it is total disrespect. I'm so glad I am not alone on this topic!!

I dont like it even for casual etc. Wear a pair of khakis or something of the like. You don't have to wear a suit and tie to look nice..

I dont mind the wearing of white, I wish more people would be ok with it. Nobody is ever going to take away from a bride. Not even the one that looks like a "tramp". lol Thats exactly what people will think, tramp. I love the weddings where they all wear white.

@Elisa...my give a damn is busted too =) I don't care what they wear! I ain't nobody special so I got no security detail at my festivities.

I believe in letting one be oneself...my favorite picture of my first wedding is of my ex-husband's cousin in his zebra striped lycra pants, black leather jacket and his "Jon Bon Jovi" hair he was in the background as my Daddy was walking me down the aisle and he is what I love about that picture. He had been diagnosed with a brain tumor several years earlier, went through brain surgery and became a rocker after that...he literally could play the guitar by ear after his surgery it was amazing and he was a fighter. If he had been in dress clothes, he would not have been comfortable and would not have been himself!

We had just a couple, it really didn't bother me. If it was everyone then I would have been peeved but 2 people, not a big deal, I had other things to worry about, it certainly didn't make my day/night any less enjoyable

Yes, but my groom might wear jeans. lol. So then I guess I couldn't get mad if the others were too.

Hate Jeans at wedding.

I had 8 days' notice for my cousin's wedding. She sent out a mass text message that was followed up with an e-mail invite 5 days before (this was for all guests, not just me). She also said that they couldn't afford to pay for a reception, so if we wanted to come to the restaurant, we'd have to pay our own way. I was kind of appalled, but I love her so FH and I attended. I told him that it was okay to wear jeans (he didn't have anything else with him), so I was very surprised to find that half of guests and the wedding party were dressed SUPER formally. I was wearing a casual-but-work-appropriate dress and felt like I was underdressed (I was afraid that if I wore something nicer, I'd be overdressed and embarrassed).

This is why invitations are supposed to indicate (by how formal or casual the wording is) what people should wear, without actually specifying unless it's black-tie.

Anyway, FH looked great, just casual. But how was I supposed to know that we'd be out of place?

I invited an old friend to my wedding. she is pregnant and was planning to bring a friend (that i knew) as her plus one. week of the wedding she let me know the friend couldn't go and that she was bringing "the baby daddy." The guy showed up wearing cargo shorts and dirty sneakers.

Somehow I just didn't even notice when I went to their table and said hello to them, but lots of people commented on it after "who was the guy in the cargo shorts?!"

apparently he also didn't touch his meal and instead stood in the bar area drinking a beer while everyone else ate. so glad she used that plus one! :/
